Telescope Peak Sunset

[Timmeh]

I made it up to Telescope Peak last Saturday and the clouds didn't disappoint. I packed 8 liters of water, for the one night and the extra weight was more than worth it to spend a sunrise and sunset in the Bristlecone Pine grove on the peak. I probably should have woken up for some astro, but sleeping underneath a bristlecone was quite comfortable, and the wind coming up from Panamint Valley was punishing (50 mph?). Sunrise to come later. All comments welcome!

Great view from up there. I love the atmospherics and the light in the second one. The sunset clouds in the last one are quite nice as well but the second one keeps me coming back.

I love all of them, each has its own reason to linger and look.

Really nice works!

Very cool Tim! It sure likes you really scored here. That cloud in #3 is really sweet, kind of like a stacked Lenticular.

I REALLY enjoyed the second photo. Light, color and composition! Great!

Thanks for the comments Alan, Ben, Barry, Jim, and Tom! The theme for this year's photo trips seem to all involve high winds (Big Sur, Channel Islands, Telescope, and Big Pine Lakes).

Nice work. I quite like #1 - the light on the distant mountains is great.

Love all of the "God Rays" in the first pic. That must of been quite the adventure getting there.
